Ain’t nothing better than a couple cold snacks and a 2+ hour episode/video of VGG on a Friday night after a hard week out of town. Thanks Derik appreciate you
Its one of the many things that separates this channel from all the others. His instruction, humor, his family, and genuine humbleness really makes it the best.
Great Episode on Remington! Awesome! Always good entertainment and a load of laughs talking to the camera like we were there funnin' & critisizin' with ya! Are ya putting back Jay Wolfe's Dealer emblem's? Cause now ya got holes and it was painted. Got a Jay Wolfe 1987 Acura Integra from Kansas City we got going up here in Southern Cow Hampsha' Havin' fun with it! Keep those great vids a comin'! 😊
Me too, bro. Some of my earliest memories are me and the old man, plowing snow in the 82(?) crap brown Chevy. She ran forever, just rusted out eventually. Good times. Love to see someone actually taking some care of an old square body.
Hey Derek I painted my 1950 Ford shoebox with a 50 dollar gallon of John Deere Blitz Black flat paint and my cheap Hobo Freight spray gun, came out great, well, pretty good. Made me feel better to see you do the same. Great channel, great family, great American, 79 year old hot rodder still learning, appreciate what you do...
I don't know how this is for people not in the field but as trained metal worker and industrial mechanic that completely switched fields it is cathartic to watch someones process that clearly has years of experience and a feel for what they are doing. There are loads of people that do good metal work but the ones that have a connection to the metal that goes beyond just numbers and measurements, that can feel what is right and what isn't are on another level and a joy to watch and work with. That body work segment scratched an itch that I didn't even realize I had. Thanks Derek!
Derek, thank you for being real in these videos and showing us the good the bad and the ugly. You could easily edit out all the mistakes and issues but you don’t and we get to see what it’s really like. Thanks for all that you do for us!
Derrick I just wanna say thank you! This is the only youtube channel I watch consistently with videos that average over an hour long, what you do reminds me so much of watching horsepower TV on spike every Saturday morning with my dad, thank you for all that you post and keeping hotrod alive!
I used to watch those same shows on spike as a teenager. My uncle's introduced me to the gearhead lifestyle as a young man and they were what I looked forward to every week. Most of my family was a GM only household but one uncle in particular was a mustang guy who pretty much set in motion the rest of my car obsession. As a teenager in the late 90's the 5 liter mustang was the top dog in my area. I never understood it until a friend of mine had an 85 GT that waxed all the local guys on the street. Track numbers didn't matter, it's what you could do at a stop light that set you apart.
I'm a real perfectionist both on and off the job, and it's always helpful and instructive to see a great example of getting 80% there with 20% of the labor. Sometimes that's really the difference between getting something decent done and getting nothing done at all.
As a fellow perfectionist, that is more valuable than most know. HVAC installer here doing change-outs, which sometimes feels like I’m remodeling a house; it’s hard to not go the full 9 yards. Not everything has to be the Taj Mahal!
At my work, they oft repeat the mantra: don't let perfect get in the way of better. As you say, better to get something done than do nothing unless it's perfect!
A wonderful tribute to your Grandparents. They will always be in your work and your hearts. 60 bucks? Nope. Priceless. Great job as always! The mirror wrassling was the best!
I’ve made a “paint booth” out of pvc pipe and drop cloth plastic. Couple filters in one end and exhaust fans (Walmart box fans) in the other with shop lights inside the booth. Works great! You can disassemble it for storage when done.
“Just a happy little tree there” Almost spit my coffee!! You’re definitely the Bob Ross of the square body! Taking something from nothing and making it something to look at!!! Thanks for a great show!!
Looks great and I love how you paid tribute to your grandparents! You actually remind me of my grandfather. He was always in his building working on something. And he was the best mechanic I have ever seen. That little guy is great help and going to be a chip off the ole block
Absolutely amazing transformation, looks awesome. Love the wheels as well. What a great way to pay homage to your grandparents. They would be very proud.
Number one. Derek is the auto shop teacher we all should have had back in school. Two, the barn cat is a Diva. Three, Bentley will be a gear head for life and that's just great! Loved this one like all the rest. Thanks Derek!
I can’t thank you enough Derek, Jessica and the kids. You guys do such great work as a family effort. Truly thankful for you guys and all you do behind the scenes.
I think you are the single most important automotive TH-camr out right now. The way you explain multiple ways to do the same task you reach people at different budget points is amazing. Keep it up Derek!
Great job on the truck Derek, one of the first trucks I remember travelling in with my dad.. later on working with him in the same truck a few years later! Lots of memories! Bentley is really becoming a great helper for you around the shop and its great to see him picking up the skills from his dad!
Awesome 2 hrs. Looks great and a tribute to your Grandparents is priceless. Love that you involve your sons with your work. Gotta get the young involved as wrenching on your own rigs will continue to be a dying art. Love your channel
Great insight on cabin corner repairs and both rear fender bottom metal repairs behind the rear tires. First time where I have practical approach to setup, bending,trimming, and finalization. Great approach to repairs.
One thing to note on oil based paints, with proper prep, hardener, and application they can look really nice. Just know that you really can't ever coat over them again with a urethane or enamel because traditional coatings are "hotter" and will eventually eat the paint below. On a positive note, tractor paints are slightly acidic and will kill rust. They do an excellent job at preserving vehicles!
looove that you're getting into some concrete bodywork with a build. always hoped you would do that more. it means that there's some real roadworthy-ness on the horizon for a lot of your rescues. would be nice to see the big old LeSabre brought back and being done - if you still have it. Love that car
Awesome transformation! I love the way it looks and nice tribute to your grandparents! I wish I could weld half as good as you Derek! Totally impressed with your patch panels and welding abiliti!
Good job Derek. Nice tribute to your grandparents. I miss mine. I have a 4 year old grandson too and hope to have as positive an influence on him as they made on me. My favorite is still you and your brother getting your Grandpa's truck running again, but this will be a lasting tribute. Not just the art, but the fact that it's a working truck! Being used like a truck!
I stopped working on my vehicles almost 40 years ago, but enjoy the heck outta watching you do what you do, Derek. I find your channel fascinating, even thought I know I'll never work on my own vehicles again. It's nice to 'repair vicariously' through Vice Grip Garage. Happy New Year to you and your very nice family!
This truck restoration was amazing. We love the paint on the doors to commemorate Dereks grandparents its beautiful! Remington will run for many moons and do its job around the Lodge. Derek better watch out Jessica may snatch this baby up for getting her groceries! Always good to see Bentley helping his dad on these vehicles. Good video, nice wheels, now to replace that seat and do the inside cab?!
Derrick , Great Job on the upgrade and restoration of the old Chevy Farm Truck . You've definitely breathed new life into it. Honoring your grandparents with the Bieri Farms Artwork is fantastic . I really admire the mechanical ability that Bentley has and your working along with him as young lad which has really developed his talent and confidence. All your sons are a credit to you and Jessica. Greetings from New Brunswick Canada
First of all I love the work you did and the approach to fix up your project. Now I heard a fella say he didn’t want a bunch of sympathy but- my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your grandmother. Honoring the family the way you did was first class.
Agreed! A decent seat rummaged around for at different junkyards could really make that a true going to town rig! Somethings gotta be done with those door cards too. Simple fix.
Just did a similar level of paint job with a friend's son. He brought himself his first hotrod pickup and wanted to shine'r up a little bit.let him do most of the dirty work sanding and prepping. Done up in the dusty old shop. Turned out decent enough with some single stage paint that a guy can stand back 20' and squint one eye and feel pretty good about himself. The young feller was so thrilled and proud of himself for the work he put into his pride and joy. After a couple months of nights and weekends, ended up having a great time working with him. I think he learned a lot and I ended enjoy a project again just for the sake of doing a project. Can't wait to see him cruising around town this summer!
Great video, as usual, Derek. 1938 was a good year; my birth year. Just turned 86 and I'm glad I can still watch these videos and enjoy them. Keep up the good work.
Awesome tribute to your Grandparents and Family Unit!! Great economical paint job on the rig!! Wished a Feller and Family Unit lived up in my neck of the woods around Jonesborough, TN!! But, all & all just happy to have you all living here in I think the best state in the U.S.!! Sorry for the passing of your Grandma, but you said it best!! Celebrate Her life well lived!! Stay warm!! I guarantee this North Dakota cold snap will retreat!!
I really love watching your videos, even little Grip Garage and Vice Grip Lodge... You and your family are awesome, I Love how you and your family share in the recordings, and whomever edits the content is awesome. I Love the personalities, the being natural... All of you, you, Jessica and your 3 kids, have become a regular part of my every day. Thank you for being a source of relief from my day to day while edumicating me! 😏
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!! New stuff!!!! Been sitting here all day looking at older videos and it paid off!!!!!!!!! My favorite mig body wire is .025 gauge! Melts in like butter and blends two panels beautifully Love them square bodies!!!Thanks man!!!!!
Hey Derek, you just amaze me at what you can do, you and your little faller, transformed that truck into a show piece, congratulations, i really mean it, just wish more people would rescue old vehicles.
@@ViceGripGarage you're such an inspiration to alot of us here. I'm 52 with a 15yo son and I take lessons from you on how I'm raising him. He's homeschooled by me and we are both car freaks LOL. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING MY GUY♥️
Great job, Derik!! Watching you do your magic on a Friday evening it don’t get much better than that!! It don’t get no better than that. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing!!
Love this, Derek! Dad had an 81 - 350 Silverado. I slept in it many a time when I got back from parties and the house was locked up. The thoughts about your Dad made my Evening. Great job, my Friend.
Sending love from my family to yours, thank you for everything you do for your fans, and I'm sorry for your loss but glad you were able to express your love for your grandparents with that beautiful painting. My little boy also was happy to see Bentley, he's a big fan of his and hopes to see another episode of Little Grip Garage someday. Hope you are doing well and remember to take time out for yourself as well, we love you and the videos you make, but I'm sure i speak for a lot of us that we'd be just as happy knowing you are remembering to put your feet up with the family.
Yeh... Derek has been staying true. It's inspirational. Thanks. Very entertaining and informative in a useful way, as well. GB these guys who do this. I'm enjoying Saturday aft...
Sorry to hear about your grandma but so glad you had all the time you had to spend with her and now this truck will be a daily reminder of all the great times you have had with them.
There are many words to describe you, but LAZY is definitely NOT one of them. Love all the work you put in for all of us Fellas and Fellettes just to entertain us.
Great video Derek, your choice of wheels on your projects always amazes me how good they suit the vehicle. There's a talent there. Nice to see your little human enjoying helping you also. Look forward to the next one , from sunny South Australia ,93 degrees today in your language...
I always liked your videos, they make me happy and make me smile. I laugh inside when you're making some of your comments about fixing things, stepping over things, viewing things, pretending you didn't see some thing and explaining things people or viewers mught ask about. For me, your channel is relaxing and gives my mind a needed break thanks for the video.
Two hours well spent watching you do your thing. What a transformation to your farm truck, just fantastic! Keep them coming and I will keep on watching! Great content, No, fantastic content!
Little tip I learned when installing patch panels is to overlay the new panel over the old and cut them both at once. This gives you a nice clean line and makes it easy to tack in place. Learned that from one of the guys on power block a few decades ago 😅
Derek...very COOL! We love how 'Remington' turned out (perfectly imperfect, which is perfect). The mirrors, new lenses, pinstripes, rare cool wheels and the tribute to your grandparents door art all make the truck special. We hope to see you haulin' some things in it in videos in the future.
I use that paint to paint trucks and trailers all the time. It is cheap but definitely needs reducer! Paint is thick! I also use the hardener as well for added shine and durability! I never videoed it! Next time i paint with it i will video for my channel! Keep it up Derrick! Great job!
Im new to anything car paint/spray paint. How do you get the perfect balance of paint viscosity for your gun nozzle? Also should derrickhave finishedwith a polish on the paint to bring out its shine?
@@WherEmEweeD i have never tried to polish this type of paint. Dont see why you cant but i cannot say. As for mixing balance, itsall about feel. You dont want to thick or to thin. Also gun tip size matters to. This paint is thick so if you can have a spray tip 1.8 size it sprays better. But more common tips are 1.4 so just have to thin it out. Best bet is pour paint in a mix cup like half a cup of paint and start off with adding 1 inch of reducer to it with a splash of hardener mix and try spraying a test area if it sprays nice good, if it takes forever to cover then its to thick needs more reducer. If alot comes out but takes a ton of coats to cover then its to thin and needs less reducer or more paint. Best advice i can give.
@@Robbinsbuiltgarage thank you for this information i will come back with updates, information that you give me is never free years if experience pays.
Dude!!!! Even when something "fails" it's an awesome learning experience for people that wants to turn a wrench or paint something themselves. Never stop and wish you and yours the best see you next time sir!!!
I’m new to the channel as of a couple months ago, I ve learned a lot from your tutorials, 😂 love your humor and vocabulary. I catch myself saying all be dipped. I find myself also keeping my peepers open for a vehicle to rehab. Mission accomplished , job well done I’m addicted, love the content.
Body work with basic tools?? Two words. Fitzees Fabrication. That guy is a sheet metal wizard using an angle grinder, an I-beam and a 40 year old body hammer. He, like you Derek, seem like great, salt of the earth people. Y’all make the world a better place. Keep up the amazing work. You’re more appreciated than I’m able to properly express. Cheers from Texas.
You’re the father I wish I always had 😅.. your my roll model you resparked my enjoyment on fixing vehicles and have taught me a lot watching and listening to your videos. Just wanted to thank you for that one and one thing else, no chance can I watch a video without getting a smile on my face. Keep up the amazing work man
Great video. Love those square body Chevys. I have a 84 C10 pickup w lift gate & 89 c30 small dump. The dump is great when I take scrap metal to the junkyard. Just dump & go. Saves me a lot of work & my back.
Yes! Over 2 hrs of VGG! Great way to start a weekend
I agree 😅
Couldn’t have a better way to start the weekend
Crazy the content we get from this guy and his wife . ❤
@@timbcotree Right!?
Agreed
Ain’t nothing better than a couple cold snacks and a 2+ hour episode/video of VGG on a Friday night after a hard week out of town. Thanks Derik appreciate you

Bently is a hard working little man, I appreciate that and enjoy watching it.
Having your kid by your side, are moments that you only get once. Thanks for sharing, Derek.
Derek nails it again. The door art is simple and amazing at the same time. I can't believe it..... "I guess I have to, I'm looking right at it."
Good to see ViceCat doing well little guys getting big.
It seems to be trying to figure out what the devil is going on?
Hasn't missed many meals. Thanks man for you guys giving fur baby a wonderful and loving home ❤
@@mj_slender6717Probably a lotta mice out there. They could have named him Mice Grip 😂. Oh well, maybe the next one!
That there is a shop lion 🦁
Caprice is looking like she's adapted fine to her life. Good kitty!
I love that you’re teaching your kids about mechanics cause you don’t see very many mechanic classes in school anymore
Kids today just don’t seem interested in cars..Hard enough teaching them the very very basics…
@@billdeacon458as someone who goes to high school, kids are still interested in cars
A $60 DOLLAR Paint Job and worth every penny! .... A fun watch and with your young'un helping ... Priceless.
$60/paint + metal, primer, sanding disks, bondo, power, and days of work.
@mrmotofy a guy could have that stuff lying around with some extra time on his hands. I'm pretty sure he blew the budget because of what happened
I love that you are showing and teaching Bentley the auto trades. I also love how he gets right in there doing the work. You’re a good dad.
Derek and his family represent everything that makes America great.
Its one of the many things that separates this channel from all the others. His instruction, humor, his family, and genuine humbleness really makes it the best.
Great Episode on Remington! Awesome!
Always good entertainment and a load of laughs talking to the camera like we were there funnin' & critisizin' with ya!
Are ya putting back Jay Wolfe's Dealer emblem's? Cause now ya got holes and it was painted.
Got a Jay Wolfe 1987 Acura Integra from Kansas City we got going up here in Southern Cow Hampsha'
Havin' fun with it!
Keep those great vids a comin'! 😊
$120 paint job on that white truck for your brother was what first brought me to this channel. This kind of thing is right up my alley.
Me too, bro. Some of my earliest memories are me and the old man, plowing snow in the 82(?) crap brown Chevy. She ran forever, just rusted out eventually. Good times. Love to see someone actually taking some care of an old square body.

Hey Derek
I painted my 1950 Ford shoebox with a 50 dollar gallon of John Deere Blitz Black flat paint and my cheap Hobo Freight spray gun, came out great, well, pretty good. Made me feel better to see you do the same. Great channel, great family, great American, 79 year old hot rodder still learning, appreciate what you do...
There is no better way for a guy to start a guys weekend than 2 hours of VGG...Thank You Derek!

Great job as always! The mirror wrassling was the best!
That was fun i learned quite a bit too. Awesome looking truck, Im in my 40s, those were the cool trucks around town in my glory days. Classic stuff.
I’ve made a “paint booth” out of pvc pipe and drop cloth plastic. Couple filters in one end and exhaust fans (Walmart box fans) in the other with shop lights inside the booth. Works great! You can disassemble it for storage when done.
I had done a similar setup about 30+ years ago only I used an old house furnace blower that I salvaged from the dump. Worked great.
Two hours of watching Derek do his thing brilliant, better than a week lying on beach ! Many thanks loved it

I really appreciated the lesson on the patch panel, I can see how a little bit of planning and thought can make the job a lot easier.
You really outdone yourself on that one Derick. Bentley has become quiet the helper around the shop. That truck is "Sweet". May God Bless.
Great job on the truck Derek, one of the first trucks I remember travelling in with my dad.. later on working with him in the same truck a few years later! Lots of memories! Bentley is really becoming a great helper for you around the shop and its great to see him picking up the skills from his dad!

Awsome job Derek. What a way to celebrate your grandparents. I love ❤️ how you teach the boys your way of rebuilding..
What a great restoration without breaking the bank and what a way to remember your grandparents. Good on ya.
Great job bringing the old truck back around! Family heritage is pretty darned important and it's great that it's being shared with your kids as well!
It's probably 1 of the best videos I have watched in a good long time. Always look forward to VGG videos, and this 1 topped it off.

Thanks Derek keep the square body stuff coming we found mine hiding in a barn since 1991 ! You give us hope lol 😆
I really like your "supervisor's " management style. " Management by walking around ." Great informative video. Thank you

Love to see something done with the interior. The exterior deserves it
Agreed! A decent seat rummaged around for at different junkyards could really make that a true going to town rig! Somethings gotta be done with those door cards too. Simple fix.
Id love to see a video of you converting an old C10 or C20 into a 4x4, or even a old Ford.

Great video, as usual, Derek. 1938 was a good year; my birth year. Just turned 86 and I'm glad I can still watch these videos and enjoy them. Keep up the good work.
turns out Derek is actually pretty good at body work. i guess we want to see more of it :D not gonna lie tho the door dent drives me crazy
Love shop security is always lurking in the background 😂 Really enjoy watching how to save these old rigs
Glad you enjoyed

But, all & all just happy to have you all living here in I think the best state in the U.S.!! Sorry for the passing of your Grandma, but you said it best!! Celebrate Her life well lived!! Stay warm!! I guarantee this North Dakota cold snap will retreat!!
I really love watching your videos, even little Grip Garage and Vice Grip Lodge... You and your family are awesome, I Love how you and your family share in the recordings, and whomever edits the content is awesome. I Love the personalities, the being natural... All of you, you, Jessica and your 3 kids, have become a regular part of my every day. Thank you for being a source of relief from my day to day while edumicating me! 😏
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!! New stuff!!!! Been sitting here all day looking at older videos and it paid off!!!!!!!!! My favorite mig body wire is .025 gauge! Melts in like butter and blends two panels beautifully Love them square bodies!!!Thanks man!!!!!
That truck looks great I'm quite certain you and your families efforts would make your Mom and Dad very proud. Well done sir.
Hey Derek, you just amaze me at what you can do, you and your little faller, transformed that truck into a show piece, congratulations, i really mean it, just wish more people would rescue old vehicles.
Great tribute to your grandparents, Derek. Looks like a new rig.
Thanks 👍
@@ViceGripGarage you're such an inspiration to alot of us here. I'm 52 with a 15yo son and I take lessons from you on how I'm raising him. He's homeschooled by me and we are both car freaks LOL. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING MY GUY♥️
Great job, Derik!! Watching you do your magic on a Friday evening it don’t get much better than that!! It don’t get no better than that. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing!!
Much respect to all American Families and men! This is a great country for people like this. Simply make stuff better.. that’s it! Love yall!
Love this, Derek! Dad had an 81 - 350 Silverado. I slept in it many a time when I got back from parties and the house was locked up. The thoughts about your Dad made my Evening. Great job, my Friend.
Sending love from my family to yours, thank you for everything you do for your fans, and I'm sorry for your loss but glad you were able to express your love for your grandparents with that beautiful painting. My little boy also was happy to see Bentley, he's a big fan of his and hopes to see another episode of Little Grip Garage someday. Hope you are doing well and remember to take time out for yourself as well, we love you and the videos you make, but I'm sure i speak for a lot of us that we'd be just as happy knowing you are remembering to put your feet up with the family.
Yeh... Derek has been staying true. It's inspirational. Thanks. Very entertaining and informative in a useful way, as well. GB these guys who do this. I'm enjoying Saturday aft...
Sorry to hear about your grandma but so glad you had all the time you had to spend with her and now this truck will be a daily reminder of all the great times you have had with them.
Never seen anyone do pinstripes like that learned a few thing! talk about added value to the truck to!
There are many words to describe you, but LAZY is definitely NOT one of them. Love all the work you put in for all of us Fellas and Fellettes just to entertain us.
It's in very good shape for the age!
Good idea to make it last!
Nice to see it getting some TLC!
Thanks for the video!
Great video Derek, your choice of wheels on your projects always amazes me how good they suit the vehicle. There's a talent there. Nice to see your little human enjoying helping you also. Look forward to the next one , from sunny South Australia ,93 degrees today in your language...
Australia here also. Shite Victoria weather here.
I always liked your videos, they make me happy and make me smile. I laugh inside when you're making some of your comments about fixing things, stepping over things, viewing things, pretending you didn't see some thing and explaining things people or viewers mught ask about. For me, your channel is relaxing and gives my mind a needed break thanks for the video.
Love it when you show how to make things easier and less complicated than everyone else
Two hours well spent watching you do your thing.
What a transformation to your farm truck, just fantastic! Keep them coming and I will keep on watching! Great content, No, fantastic content!
Little tip I learned when installing patch panels is to overlay the new panel over the old and cut them both at once. This gives you a nice clean line and makes it easy to tack in place. Learned that from one of the guys on power block a few decades ago 😅
Sometimes you get too much of a gap when you do that. If you keep trimming little by little you get the desired gap you want for a good weld
Sorry for your lost great job on the shop truck for low budget may God bless your family
Derek...very COOL! We love how 'Remington' turned out (perfectly imperfect, which is perfect). The mirrors, new lenses, pinstripes, rare cool wheels and the tribute to your grandparents door art all make the truck special. We hope to see you haulin' some things in it in videos in the future.
I use that paint to paint trucks and trailers all the time. It is cheap but definitely needs reducer! Paint is thick! I also use the hardener as well for added shine and durability! I never videoed it! Next time i paint with it i will video for my channel! Keep it up Derrick! Great job!
Im new to anything car paint/spray paint. How do you get the perfect balance of paint viscosity for your gun nozzle? Also should derrickhave finishedwith a polish on the paint to bring out its shine?
Also is a laquer a good ideato protect the paint.cheers for your advice. From northern ireeland
@@WherEmEweeD i would just use a good wax.
@@WherEmEweeD i have never tried to polish this type of paint. Dont see why you cant but i cannot say.
As for mixing balance, itsall about feel. You dont want to thick or to thin. Also gun tip size matters to. This paint is thick so if you can have a spray tip 1.8 size it sprays better. But more common tips are 1.4 so just have to thin it out. Best bet is pour paint in a mix cup like half a cup of paint and start off with adding 1 inch of reducer to it with a splash of hardener mix and try spraying a test area if it sprays nice good, if it takes forever to cover then its to thick needs more reducer. If alot comes out but takes a ton of coats to cover then its to thin and needs less reducer or more paint.
Best advice i can give.
@@Robbinsbuiltgarage thank you for this information i will come back with updates, information that you give me is never free years if experience pays.
Such a cool project! I couldn't imagine it turning out better!
Dude!!!! Even when something "fails" it's an awesome learning experience for people that wants to turn a wrench or paint something themselves. Never stop and wish you and yours the best see you next time sir!!!
A 2 hour VGG? YES PLEASE! What a great lead in to the playoffs this weekend! Time to settle in with a whole FLEET of cold snacks!
I’m new to the channel as of a couple months ago, I ve learned a lot from your tutorials, 😂 love your humor and vocabulary. I catch myself saying all be dipped. I find myself also keeping my peepers open for a vehicle to rehab. Mission accomplished , job well done I’m addicted, love the content.
I'LL be dipped! 😉
You do know he has shirts with I'll be Dipped on them ? My guy has one!
Body work with basic tools?? Two words. Fitzees Fabrication. That guy is a sheet metal wizard using an angle grinder, an I-beam and a 40 year old body hammer. He, like you Derek, seem like great, salt of the earth people. Y’all make the world a better place. Keep up the amazing work. You’re more appreciated than I’m able to properly express. Cheers from Texas.
You’re the father I wish I always had 😅.. your my roll model you resparked my enjoyment on fixing vehicles and have taught me a lot watching and listening to your videos. Just wanted to thank you for that one and one thing else, no chance can I watch a video without getting a smile on my face. Keep up the amazing work man
You should give it a try with the reducer and catalyst. It makes a huge difference in the final results. I’ve had good results with the majic paint.
Great Job! Thanks for the tribute to your Grandparents!@
The tire and rim set up is amazing😮 Good job sir
Great video. Love those square body Chevys. I have a 84 C10 pickup w lift gate & 89 c30 small dump. The dump is great when I take scrap metal to the junkyard. Just dump & go. Saves me a lot of work & my back.
